Simply A Masterpiece
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I love it! I love it! I love it!!!I happened to watch this movie a couple years ago, right after a huuuge fight with my bf (we're getting married soon, yeeeeey!). And this movie was really helpful. After an hour of desperate crying, it made me laugh! It's fun, with original jokes (no stupid toilet humor), it also has a moment of wisdom, and some actual relationship advises!!! Another great aspect of the movie is Jayson Jorge, who is gorgeous, i really enjoyed his baritone, HOT HOT HOT. I can't agree with such a low credit for the movie. Seriously??? People tend to give 7 and 8 to "big" movies, and 3 - 4 to comedies, which is wrong!!! It's a great comedy, it deserves to be evaluated adequately. My baby hates the movie, (i guess that's for the part where one of the characters says "A man is a dog, ... and a dog can be trained" - but we don't need to take that seriously!!!!)It's one of my favorite movies)))
Granted, as a retired aging hippie, I'm not this movie's target audience. It's not that I didn't like it, it's that I put me to sleep after about ten minutes (even the first ten minutes had me checking the clock to see how much more there was to endure) and I have no desire to go back and try to re-watch. There were plenty of beautiful people, nice houses, fast cars, everything nice to watch in an escapist romantic comedy. And I like Vivica A. Fox, but she couldn't carry this movie for me. This might be a plot problem. I watched "Someone Like You" yesterday, another movie about the war of the sexes. That was dumb too. These movies prove one of my pet theories: if the writing isn't there, get up and go home or in this case, nap on.
Carla must be a wrestling fan. I say that due to the fact that at the restaurant, when Byron said that Tiffany helped to get him into the game, she said that she WAS the game. Sounds very familiar to me. Anyone that watches WWE programming knows what I mean. But seriously, movies like this never cease to amaze me. Is it me, or do they all seem to have the same plot? Why are the roles always so damn stereotypical? Ford and Fox's roles were the most stereotypical. And what is it with these movies about relationships that always make the men out to look like lying, scheming jerks. Most, if not all movies in this genre are so one-sided. And what was with that lame attempt at a James Bond impression by Fox?
first 10 minutes are kind of boring; the plot is all over the place(i was afraid that might become something about a "reality" show, at which point i would have quit watching). but glad my fears were proved wrong))) Jazsmin Lewis and Jason Winston George are the couple. he gets "busted" (not of his fault ) of being caught with another woman. to any male that follows is obviously about CONTROL, and lots of ultra-feminists clichés follow.....OK why i do actually like this feature then? first of all,Vivica A. Fox as "her" therapist and Terrance L. Campbell as "his" best friend are awesome to watch having a "proxy" war by means of the couple. how far it gets i will not tell you here, but is FUN. secondly all those ultra-feminists issues goes to such extremes that they become clearly something to be ignored or laughed at hard with an open mouth.(more like teasing your girlfriend if watch this as a couple and her tease you back. as a matter of fact all vivica a.fox comedies are directed towards spicing up the bedroom atmosphere, especially if the viewers are having strong aggressive or passive-aggressive personalities). thirdly Vivica A.-Fox manages to take the meaning on "b...h" to higher levels.there are so many moments in the movie that all a guy could think as a male is if such a girlfriend is worth to have had in the first place( it becomes obvious that this is all about a power play about who will be the dominant "specie" in the relationship). more like those "girlfriends" that WANT you to make a step "wrong" so they can get the "moral" high ground. if this would have been a drama i would outright LOATH the whole clichés about men seen simply as "animals" that need to be "domesticated" LOL. but because it is a comedy , it is FUN to see all this aspects and yes i am sure anyone can relate to ANY OF THE 4 MAIN CHARACTERS. this should be popular with high school teenagers as well.this has entertainment value as long as not taking it personal or worse, literally.if know anyone having a therapist "a la" Vivica A. Fox then PREY for them regardless of sex, hehehehe; i guess she likes to stay true to her name))))i give it a 7 for mood well defined eventually and good acting all around. 3 points taken for some clichés and ultra-feminist exclusive aspects, that even if done with style, they remain as such.err..."sls5s"..."ust promotes playing games and all the stupid stereotypes for African-Americans"; what exactly is that supposed to mean!?
